NC Personal Injury Attorneys Setting the Standard

Medical Malpractice

Although the Pinto Coates Kyre & Brown firm handles much insurance defense litigation, we have also developed a niche practice handling medical malpractice cases for injured individuals.  We welcome inquiries from persons who have had serious adverse medical outcomes.  We routinely request and review medical records and advise potential clients regarding whether their medical treatment warrants a medical malpractice action.  For over a decade we have handled cases involving obstetric malpractice, delayed diagnosis of cancer and other conditions causing injury and death, cases involving quadriplegia from inadequate treatment of cervical injuries, prescription error cases, and cases of surgical negligence.  Given our litigation and medical malpractice expertise, other lawyers from across the state frequently request that we review and handle medical malpractice cases that originated with them.  We take pride in developing a close personal relationship with the clients that we are fortunate to serve.  We keep our clients well-informed regarding the status of their case, and we work hard to ensure that we protect their interests and maximize their recovery.
